AW8-MAX in 6 GHz Overclock!!!
ABIT saves the day at DreamHack Winter 2005

December 7th, 2005 – The world's largest LAN and computer-festival was recently held in Sweden. Over 6000 PC enthusiasts from all around the globe gathered to share experiences and compete in everything from games to case-modding and extreme overclocking.

Overclocking expert Robert "Crotale" Kihlberg ran into some initial hardware difficulties, as a competing motherboard, which had been prepared in advance, didn't quite make it and had to be replaced: "Thanks to some quick assistance by ABIT, which lent us the board they had in their demo computer (ABIT AW8-Max) Robert could start again and after many attempts he finally managed to go past 6GHz. The final result was 6009MHz and after all the commotion it is a pretty nice result".

An overclock of more than 6 gigahertz is an impressive result indeed, and it might very well be among the highest CPU-clocks ever reached on the x86-platform. Stay tuned for more updates as Robert Kihlberg posts more details on this incredible achievement!
